From a technical point of view, the Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL phono corrector is able to satisfy even restless experimenters and upgrade enthusiasts. The corrector is designed to work with different types of heads and allows you to choose the optimal mode for each specific instance. For this, there is a choice of nine load resistance values for MS (10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1200, 47000 Ohms) and five input capacitance values for MM (50, 100, 200, 300, 400 PF).
The basis for the Musical Fidelity M3X VINYL phono corrector was its older brother M6x. There are also no operational amplifiers in the M3x, everything is built on a discrete circuit. The manufacturer positions the M3x Vinyl as a relatively inexpensive solution, but still high-end.
The main goal of Musical Fidelity when creating the M6X ViNYL phono corrector was to create a component that would "not interfere" with music. He does not try to add anything, but rather strives to match the original record. The result is music that shows up in all its glory.
The Musical Fidelity M8x Vinyl is made in a fully balanced circuit with discrete components. It uses a printed circuit board three times larger, on which there are placed twice as many discrete components. The amplification path now has a three-stage design, offering more gain with significantly less noise. The phonopreamplifier level now varies from 40 to 69 dB, which is suitable for a variety of cartridges, providing the necessary flexibility even when mating with complex cartridges.
